What else can I help you with?
How many nucleotide bases does it take to specify one amino acid?
i think nine bases are needed for three amino acids because i think it takes three bases to make one amino acid
How many DNA nucleotides make up a gene with a protein with 150 amino acids?
A gene with a protein containing 150 amino acids would require 450 nucleotides. This is because each amino acid is coded by three nucleotides in DNA.
How many amino acids would be in a molecule containing 15000 nucleotides?
One amino acid is encoded by 3 nucleotides. That means 150 amino acids are encoded by 150*3=450 nucleotides. But there are also Start and Stop condons, which are also encoded by 3 nucleotides each. Therefore, I guess, the theoretical minimum is 450 nucleotides and the full (maximum) should be 450+ 3+ 3= 456 nucleotides.
How many amino acids does the strand of dna gccttatgc have?
That strand should have 3 amino acids, because one amino acid is composed of three nucleotide bases.
How many amino acids does each condon code for?
No they are not. For a codon, there are 4^3 = 64 codon combinations, but only 20 [common] amino acids. The 4 represents the 4 nitrogenous bases, and the ^3 represents the arrangement into a codon (3 bp). An example of an amino acid that is specified by more than one amino acid is Alanine, which is specified by any of the following combinations: GUU, GUC, GUA, GUG. Because most amino acids have more than one codon, the genetic code is called "degenerate".
How many nucleotides are required to code for one amino acid?
Three nucleotides are required to code for one amino acid.
How many nucleotides are required to encode one amino acid?
A codon, or a 3-base code is required to code for one amino acid.
How many nucleotides are necessary to code for a polypeptide that is 200 amino acids long?
A minimum of 600 nucleotides is necessary to code for a polypeptide that is 200 amino acids long because each amino acid is coded for by a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA. This is due to the genetic code being triplet, where every three nucleotides represent one amino acid.
How do nucleotides in the RNA molecule code for various amino acids How many nucleotides code for one amino acid?
Each nucleotide is made up of an organic base, a pentose sugar and a phosphate. Nucleotides can be arranged in various different orders and that order dictates which amino acid it codes for, three amino acids code for one nucleotide. Is this enough detail?
How many bases on a strand of mRNA code for one amino acid?
3 nucleotides
How many nucleotides make an amino acid?
3 are needed. As there are 20 amino acids used in proteins, each amino acid would have to be encoded by a minimum of three nucleotides. For example, a code of two consecutive nucleotides could specify a maximum of 16 (42) different amino acids, excluding stop and start signals. A code of three consecutive nucleotides has 64(43) different members and thus can easily accommodate the 20 amino acids plus a signal to stop protein synthesis.
How many amino acids would the a nucleotide have?
A nucleotide does not contain any amino acids. Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and RNA and consist of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are coded for by sequences of nucleotides in DNA.
How many amino acids would be in a protein that is coded by a DNA strand ninety-nine nucleotides long?
If all the nucleotides are protein coding with no control sequences, then 33. Each amino acid is coded for by 3 nucleotide bases. 99 divided by 3 = 33.
How many amino acids make a codon?
One codon specifies a specific amino acid. However, more than one codon can code for the same amino acid. For example, the codon GUU codes for the specific amino acid valine; and the codons GUC, GUA, and GUG also code for valine.
How many nucleotides are needed to 'read' or place a single amino acid?
Three.
Excluding the stop sequence how many nucleotides are necessary to code for a polypeptide that is 100 amino acids long?
300 nucleotides are needed to code for a polypeptide that is 100 amino acids long, because each amino acid is coded for by a sequence of 3 nucleotides (codon), and there are 100 amino acids in the polypeptide.
The insertion of how many nucleotides into a genetic sequence does less damage to the code than the insertion of other numbers of nucleotides?
3 cause 3 nts corresponding to an amino acid so it wont effect all the following code after insertion
